Thank you everyone for the supportive words that made me feel heard, held and heart hugged. Words really do and did matter to me going through this loss right before the holidays. I’ve struggled on FB, on what to say when I see someone going through loss. Should I say something? Will it really matter?
Truthfully I now know what a difference it makes when people comment from the heart. I felt connected, less alone in my grief and supported. I didn’t feel like a crazy dog lady but I'm ok if I am. I read all of your words more than once and I’m grateful for them. I've realized that grieving together is far more kind than alone. That grief breaks you open and if you allow it, grief can grow your capacity for compassion. Thank you all for being my animal loving tribe.
